[size=45]A statement by the Media and Government Communications Office of the Commission stated that “a team formed in the Dhi Qar Investigation Office set up a tight ambush for an employee working in the Social Protection Department in Al-Rifai, on the grounds that he requested a bribe in exchange for releasing a citizen’s transaction that had been suspended for a long time,” indicating that “the accused was caught red-handed in possession of the bribe amount that he received from the citizen, amounting to five hundred thousand dinars as a first payment, with the remainder of the bribe amounting to four million dinars to be paid when the salary is released.”[/size]

The receipt committee report also revealed that the value of the damage to the project amounted to (52,900,000) dinars, in addition to the failure of the accounting department in the governorate to deduct the amounts specified by the final receipt committee (damage disclosure), in violation of the law.”[/size]
